[Pheochromocytoma: how to prevent a fatal course? A case report and review of the literature].
The authors report on one case of a female patient with adrenal pheochromocytoma which progressed rapidly, resulting in death. Stress is therefore laid on the very serious nature of this disease and the necessity of rapid detection and treatment. A diagnostic and therapeutic strategy can be established from the review of the literature, based on numerous reliable methods which are currently available.
